That looks like the one. Sheesh! I've -read- devoured far too much science fiction over the years.Fairportfan wrote:Come to think - i think that story was published before Asimov's began publication; i feel like i read it in a collection years ago - possibly the SF Book Club's loss-leader/enrollment premium two-volume Treasury of Great Science Fiction (five copies available on Amazon), which dates back to the Sixties, i think. Hmmm...
Ah ha - 1960. Edited by Anthony Boucher
Ah A contents listing - i do believe it's "Letters from Laura" by Mildred Clingerman, originally published 1954 in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, in Vol 2 of the SFBC treasury.

Well, not in an intrinsic sense--I only meant that I had so many old stories floating around that I can no longer reference them properly, to remember which is which and where it may be found.kingklash wrote:I don't think there is such a thing!MerchManDan wrote:I recognize those words, but that phrase doesn't make any sense.bmonk wrote:...too much science fiction...

I can usually make a good stab at where i recall something from - often (as in the case of "Letters from Laura") good enough to start me off on a fruitful sense.
